A/N: So Life interrupted is a little different than WLA. It's co-written by my best friend BSean, and it switches POVs and it also has LOTS MORE LEMONS and more humor. This is the sequel to both What Lies Ahead and Growing Up Volturi (BSean's story). It is not necessary to have read these stories first. We explain what happens in lots of detail.
Pairings: NessieXJacob, QuilXClaire, SethXOC(Nema), OCXOC(RasikaXAntonia), LeahXOC(Jaime)
Here basically is the Summary of Life Interrupted and then entire summary beginning to end for the other two stories.
Life Interrupted:
With the battle between The Cullen family and friends and the Volturi coming to a life changing end, new ties are made. Nema found Seth, and through the magic of imprinting their love flourished, but with jealousy filling the air will their love for one another be enough? Rasika imprinted on Antonia, a former member of the Volturi guard. They completed and healed the hurt from each other's past, but will Antonia's blood lust destroy their relationship? When Renesmee returns to Forks, can she endure the secrets her friends have been keeping? And can she and Jake manage to forget the past and find their way back to each other? As Claire's feelings start to change for Quil a bit earlier than he expected, will he be ready or will he let the chance to be with Claire get away? Also, when tragedy strikes, how will the group cope? Up until now, no one has seen or heard from Aro and Nahuel since they escaped from the battle. What will the group do if they come back to retaliate?
Growing Up Volturi: After the almost war with the Volturi at the end of Breaking Dawn, Aro's curiosity and desire to have hybrids in his guard leads him to Mexico City to find Nahuel's sisters and father. Nahuel's younger sister Antonia, a powerful telepath even as a baby, is only a year old when she arrives in Italy and is raised by her sister Hunter and Aro. She joins the guard when she is six, but soon becomes unhappy with the direction her life is heading in as a member of the elite guard and Aro's executioner. Nahuel goes to the Volturi to start another war with the Cullen's and during this fight for her survival she is imprinted on by Sam's half sister, Rasika. Rasika was born and raised in London after her father left Sam's mother. He left her mother soon after he found out about her pregnancy. At sixteen Rasika's adopted father and mother moved her family to Toronto. When she was nineteen a nomadic vampire in Toronto prompted her transformation into a wolf. She survived as a wolf for thirteen years before she found the Quileutes.
In What Lies Ahead, Renesmee Cullen discovered the magic of imprinting and through many ups and down of a life filled with secrets, she came to terms about her feelings for Jacob. When a threat from the Volturi came the family was thrown into turmoil and forced once again to face the Volturi in a fight. With the Volturi not taking no for an answer, the family was forced to set their one final plan into action. They sent Nessie and Jacob to Florida, safely out of harm's way. While settling into life with her grandmother, Renee, Nessie received the news that three of her friends were killed in battle. Guilt and sadness transformed her into someone that she could no longer recognize, and she suppressed anything involving the past. All she ever wanted was to return home to her family and friends, but when the call came she was too distraught to face them, sending Jacob on the journey home alone.
For your convenience, here is a recap of what happened in the battle and it also introduces the other characters from the story.
Back to the Battle
Nessie's POV
The Volturi stopped in their tracks, their faces portraying shock and confusion. Their heads whipped wildly around in every direction, not focusing on one particular thing, as their hands went out in front of them as if they were feeling their way to their destination.
Dad turned to Mom. "Zafrina has blinded them," he said in an urgent voice.
Mom took a bag that she had been hiding in her jacket pocket and handed it to me. "Go, Renesmee. Now! Jake, keep her safe."
No! I yelled in my thoughts.
I stood there looking from one to the other. They wanted me to leave while they stayed and fought. They wanted me to live while they died. I couldn't condone it, and I would not leave my family and friends to die. All of them were fighting because of me.
"Go now!" Dad whispered fiercely into my ear.
When I still didn't move, Jacob nudged me with his nose. I sighed in defeat and got on his back and we ran. We ran from the death sentence that hung over our heads, freeing ourselves from the battle at hand while everyone else stayed to fight.
Jacob's POV
Through the others' eyes, I could see smoke and piles of ash. There was a sadness associated with the image that I couldn't understand, but it all came together within seconds. The smoking stacks weren't ash, they were vampires. At the realization, air whooshed out of my lungs painfully.
Who? I thought to no one in particular.
Zafrina, Senna, and Ben, Embry answered somberly.
A whine escaped me at the news. This would devastate my angel. Over the years Zafrina and Senna had become extended aunts to her and Ben was like a big brother.
How did this happen?
Zafrina could only keep them blinded long enough for you two to escape. Once her powers faltered, the Volturi attacked. We were all busy fighting, so we didn't know that the odds weren't in Zafrina's favor as she was being cornered by more than one of them. Senna realized what was happening first and she tried to even the odds, but she wasn't the strongest fighter and by the time any of us realized that they needed help, they were being dismembered and burned.
A lump was forming in my throat as I saw the events occurring in Embry's thoughts as he recanted the tragedy. I didn't even want to know how Ben was murdered, but his thoughts had taken that turn on their own accord. I was seeing Carlisle fighting Caius, but Alec was sneaking up behind him. I wanted to yell out to Carlisle to move out of the way, but I knew it would do no good. All of a sudden, Ben sprang into the space between them, but he was defenseless against the black mist that had rendered him senseless. Embry wanted to help him but Jane was keeping him and Leah busy.
Antonia's POV
I leapt at the Cullens not really expecting to do any damage. I just wanted to take out the Amazon so the rest of my family could get away. Nema jumped out and cut me off. I couldn't avoid her and she rammed right into me. I could hear the Volturi's thoughts in the background. Their vision was coming back into focus. It was all the opportunity I needed. Nema and I started to circle and dance around each other. I decided that no matter what side Nema was on she needed to be safe.
Nema, listen to me. You have to leave. Take your wolf and go. This is going to get really ugly really quick, I warned her.
I can't leave. Seth will never leave his brothers, and I can't leave him, she told me honestly.
Okay, I tried. I hope you and Seth make it. I turned and ran toward the Amazon I had originally targeted. She and her sister were giving Hunter and the others a run for their money. I flew into the center of the circle and ripped the Amazon's head off. I heard the other Amazon scream before being silenced by the others.
Hunter take the others and Demetri and leave. No one will notice, because the fighting is too bad. I needed my family to survive.
Antonia, what about you? She was always questioning me. I wasn't that self-sacrificial. I was coming, too.
I'll meet you I have to get Chelsea and make sure she gets out in time. This whole fight is already falling to shit, I thought behind me. I couldn't leave my best friend. I ran towards her. She was being ganged up on by three female vampires. I noted the huge wolf lying on the ground behind them. It was odd, but I assumed it was hurt. In the two seconds it took me to cross the field I saw the Spanish vampire rip Chelsea's head from her body and toss it in the nearest pyre. It was over. I was too late, and I was mad. I felt the push against my mind as I mentally threw both of the other two into the trees behind us. I was going to kill that bitch. The great white wolf whined and growled from the ground, but didn't move to get up.
I crouched low and circled the other vampire. She did the same for me. I was glad for it, she wouldn't hold back. "You don't stand a chance, slut!" she hissed at me.
"I'm going to rip you apart for what you've done, Punta!" I snarled. I would burn her for what she did to Chelsea. I prepared to spring when the wolf lying on the ground jumped in between us.
Rester loin de' elle. Elle este a moi! I couldn't believe her thoughts. She had told the other vampire to get away from me, yes, but she had told her that I was hers. I assumed I was her kill, but when the Denali, Carmen, walked away I had to make sure.
What do you mean 'I'm yours'?
Leah's POV
At this point the fighting had begun and Jake had gone to the back of my mind as I led the pack in the war against the Volturi. The fight was anything but cut and dry. There was way more going on here than in a normal fight. So many mental battles were being played out here. The battle went on for a while and I picked up on something that seemed out of place in my head. There was another person now present in my mind, a female. Rasika, a member of Sam's pack and also his half sister, had broken free of Sam's pack and joined Jake's. I could see in her mind her reasoning behind this. These were reasons that I wasn't too pleased with at all. She had imprinted on a member of the Volturi. This girl was trained to kill, and we were trained to kill her. I could tell from this moment on that being acting Alpha brought an extra headache that I wasn't even ready for.
Antonia's POV (hours after the battle)
We were getting close to the Cullen home. Rasika thought they might give me a place to stay since I was afraid to test my control and stay around humans. We broke into a clearing that led up to a massive house. I put my game face on. I was going to have to be strong. I was truly sorry I had killed their friend, but that was to protect my sisters. I knew this was not going to end well when Edward Cullen and his brother Emmett ran out of the house snarling.
"What the Hell is she doing here, Rasika?" Emmett Cullen snarled. I dropped my stuff and crouched low in front of Rasika ready to spring for his throat to protect my mate. He kept running toward us and wouldn't slow down. Edward was convinced that someone else was going to die tonight, and I had to agree with him.
